BIANCHI GIRO / TOUR TEE

Bianchi remains one of only a few bicycle companies who have won both the Giro D Italia & the the Tour De France in the same year. This tee brings back those three amazing years when they achieved this. Two with the great Fausto Coppi & One with the legandary climber Marco Pantani.

.

Fausto Coppi was nicknamed Il Campionissimo, or champion of champions. He was an all-round cyclist & excelled in both climbing and time trialing & could sprint with the best when required. He won the Giro d'italia in 1940, 1947, 1949, 1952, 1953 & the Tour de France in 1949 & 1952.

.

Marco Pantani (13 January 1970-14 February 2004) was known as Il Pirata, or The Pirate in English. He was best known for his attacking style once the terrain went skywards, he has said, the quicker he climbed, the less time he had to suffer. He won the Giro d'Italia & the Tour de France in 1998.
